Pier and Beam Repair in Richardson Texas

Most houses built up until sometime in the early 60's used a pier and beam structure.  This means that the house sits on top of a network of beams.  These can be nice to have because of their crawl spaces which might make some types of maintenance easier.  If cracks begin to appear though, there is more to consider with pier and beam repair in Richardson Texas than if the house was built on a slab.
Pier and Beam Repair Process

The process of pier and beam repair occurs in stages.  Here is an overview of those different steps:

    First, the areas is cleared of shrubs and plants
    We lay down cover to protect the lawn
    Hydraulic jacks are then used to lift the interior to its desired level.  This is a crucial step and requires a careful professional.
    After the house is lifted, the crew removes any other shimming and replaces it with permanent fillers.
    Beams are then added where needed.
    If necessary, blocks, steel piers, and interior pads are also added to further stabilize the structure
    After all of that, steel or concrete piers are added to replace the hydraulic jack
